17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Sopwith Baby, a versatile aircraft that served as both a reconnaissance and light bomber during World War I. Commissioned by the Navy, this particular model (fourth Naval Allocation No 8133) was initially equipped with a powerful 110hp LeClerget Rotary air-cooled engine, which was later upgraded to an even more impressive 130hp Clerget engine. The Sopwith Baby played a crucial role in coastal defense and patrolling duties throughout the war. With its ability to operate from both land bases and seaplane carriers, it proved invaluable in various theaters of conflict including the Channel, North Sea, Egypt, Italy, and Palestine. In this remarkable image captured in 1916, we can see the Lewis gun mounted on top of its wing – a testament to its offensive capabilities. The sleek design of this British aircraft is evident as it soars through the sky with grace and power. As one gazes at this historic photograph from TopFoto's collection dedicated to World War I aviation, it serves as a reminder of the incredible technological advancements made during that era. This Sopwith Baby represents not only an iconic symbol of aerial warfare but also pays tribute to those brave men who flew these machines into battle for their country's cause.
